Title Vector vortex beam generation by hologram of digital micromirror devices
Summary Vector vortex light beams refer to the spatially variant polarization patterns with controlled components of polarization and spatial modes, which fulfils on-demand spin-orbital nonseparable states. Digital micromirror devices (DMD) are a special kind of spatial light modulators, which possess digitally controlled binary amplitude masks. The binary mask can be digitally controlled as a versatile hologram used for optical studies with a wide area of applications from imaging to communication. This project will explore the controlled generation of diversified vector vortex light beams and nonseparable states of which by digitally controlling computer-generated holograms on the DMD screen.
The research includes:
• Establish theoretical model of vector vortex beams
• Understand the mechanism of DMD
• Design and digital control of computer-generated holograms on DMD
• Experimentally generate on-demand nonseparable states of vector vortex beams with customized patterns
